Practice Direction - Guidelines for Expert Witnesses in Proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia

On 11 April 2007 the Chief Justice issued a revised Practice Direction.

The revised version aims to ensure that the Guidelines accommodate expert evidence which is 'argumentative' and which might be accepted as submissions rather than as evidence per se.

A copy of the Practice Direction is available on the Federal Court's website.

If you have any queries please contact Philip Kellow, Deputy Registrar, on (02) 9230 8336.
